Concise ISL is an Irish Sign Language (ISL) video dictionary which contains approximately 1000 signs.

This mobile app was developed by two young Irish engineers, one of whom is a life-long practitioner of Irish Sign Language, in response to the need for digital resources to support sign language learning in Ireland. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive ISL dictionary system in an easy-to-use form.

---------------
Features
---------------

Each sign contained within Concise ISL is presented in video form and accompanied by high quality images of the component signs for each hand.

All signs can be sorted by category, an organisational approach chosen to support learning.

Specific words and categories can be easily found within Concise ISL, using a simple and efficient search interface, swipe gestures, sliding menus and other intuitive interaction mechanisms.

This app is designed to be child-appropriate, with the inclusion of a large number of signs in categories such as Animals, Colours, Food, Sports and many others.

Through the inclusion of signs such as "texting", "tablet", "facebook" and many more, this ISL dictionary reflects the modern context of the language.

Concise ISL currently includes approximately 1000 signs, a figure which we have continuously strived to increase.

Concise ISL supports offline use. A data connection is required to download signs for the first time. These videos are then stored on-device for subsequent viewing offline. This approach allows the inclusion of such a large number of signs without imposing the consumption of a significant amount of on-device memory on all users. The video size has been carefully calculated to reduce bandwidth consumption.

Concise ISL also includes a number of additional sections containing information concerning the history of ISL, the grammatical structure of the language and more.

We hope you enjoy using Concise ISL!

Such a helpful resource!

My 4 year old son is profoundly deaf and wears cochlear implants. While we have a weekly ISL tutor, it's been a struggle to find good resources to learn sign so we can teach the whole family. This app has been invaluable for our learning journey. His brothers now get excited when we're trying to learn a new word or phrase - it's become a fun family game. We are so grateful for this easy-to-use app!

Incredible resource

This app is full of modern ISL vocab that people actually use in everyday conversations. Really useful resource to have. It's 10 times cheaper than my printed dictionary too

Thanks for the kind words M

Definitely worth downloading

This app, unlike so many others, has so much work put into it and is definitely worth the small cost. It's also very effective - all the images and short videos are very clear and easy to learn from. I did notice however that in the colours section there is no orange. But that's just a minor error in a great app. I would definitely recommend this app.

Many thanks for your kind words, we will be sure to add Orange to the list :)

Students must show the teacher the correct letter in ISL before they can drag the letter to fill in gaps in the bridge to help the superhero win.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Faster than a speeding bullet, better at alphabetizing than your librarian, it's YOU! Are you ready to fill in the missing letters of the alphabet to win the race? You are the green alphabetizing superhero. Your goal is to beat the blue superhero. Can you do it?

To play, press start. Then, drag and drop the correct letters of the alphabet into the missing section. When incorrect letters are dropped in, a noise will indicate that the answer is wrong. Students must hurry to win! The game will take you through several levels, with each level requiring greater skill. How many levels can you beat?

This game encourages students to practice their alphabetizing skills. This skill can help students with other tasks such as using a dictionary, index, or encyclopedia. Furthermore, students use memory recall, think with greater flexibility, and gain fluency with the alphabet. If students need a game that isn't quite as high-pressure, try the Alphabetical Order game.
